Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that he is pleased with his side’s win against Manchester City in the FA Cup.
Klopp’s Liverpool got the better of Pep Guardiola’s City 3-2 away from home at the Etihad Stadium in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Saturday.
Klopp told Liverpool’s official website: “Yeah, I think so, it was the feeling I had after the game – or when I saw the first half – because of the quality of the opponent, which is why in the second half they demonstrated how good they really are.
“So, denying them in so many moments is so difficult and creating your own opportunities, using them, is obviously very difficult as well. The first half was outstanding in pretty much all parts of the game, I would say.
“In the second half, they scored – like we did in the previous game – an early goal, then it’s clear, it opens up. No football player on the planet feels safe against City with a 3-1 lead, it is always clear what they can do.
“There were moments when we defended well, but they were one time through and it was like, ‘Oops!’ It was really good; yes, we needed Ali, what a game he played, but had our own moments as well and could’ve decided the game earlier.
“We didn’t do it and that makes it a bit more special – 3-0 against City would feel kind of strange. 3-2 is a fair result and this was still good enough to bring us to the final.”
Liverpool are now rated at 4/9 favourites on Betfair to win the FA Cup this season.
